Indianafous, Ind., Feb. 20.- The
supreme court today affirmed the decision
of. the Marios county criminal court in
the case of the State vs. John E. llack
ett, the issues involved being various
questions that have been raised in con
nection with a law passed by the last
legislature regulating the rentals of
telephones in the) State, reducing them
from $5 to $3 a month, with a corres
ponding reduction for services to other
towns. In effect the decision is that the
law ; is constitutional and that extra
charges above $3 a month made by the
company for; alsged service, eta, are
illegal, as by the word "telephone"
the law meant all' appliances in connec
tion: with the! service. The opinion in
the casea was written by chief justice
Niblack, who rules against the company
on all points raised. All the other
judges concurred.; , :

A BIT OF POLITICAL HITORT now LINCOLN
CARKIBD PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS OR
DCBJEP HOME TO VOTB.
Special Dispatch to jthe Baltimore Sun.
W A8HINOTON , Feb- 19. At a social
gathering in Philadelphia a few nights
since, composed of gentlemen of Wash -ington
and of that ciiy, several interest
ing reminiscences and statements were
given; which are now for the first time
made public.. Colj A. K. McClure,
who was entrusted with much of the
confidential work- of the Republican
campaign of 1864, recited the particu
lars of an interview which he had with
1 'resident Lineoln iij reference to Re
publican prospects in Pennsylvania At
tbistime, as wjll be! remembered, there
was much discontent in the North, and
grave apprehensions were , felt by the
administration of Mt. Lincoln, as to the
result in the two - great States . of New
York and Pennsylvania, whre di&satia-
raction was most ntffi. ' 1 '-r t
absolutely necessaryj for ntoial etfeut on
the other states that the October elec
tion in Pennsylvania Bbould be carrieJ
by the home vote. Uol. Mct'lure, after
a most careful survey of the political
field, reached the conclusion that tbf
was the greatest danger as to this of
failure. He took the tram for Washing
ton and laid all his misgivings, with his
reasons therefor, before the President.
Mr Lincoln sighed and was silent for
awhile. He then said, "What can be
done?" Col. McClure replied, v I see
nothing except to furlough from five to
ten thousand of the Pennsylvania troops
and let them come home and vote Ad
vise Gen. Grant of your wishes that fire
thousand be furloughed at once from
his immediate command, with pertois-
sion to return home. jo this Mr
jincoln replied that he dare not appeal
to Gen. Grant in such a case, as he did
not know whether Gen. Grant was for
or against him. Co. McClure than in
quired how about Sheridan, who wai
then in the valley 0 Virginia. "Oh,"
said Mr. Lincoln, VPhil's all right."
After some further .'consultation it was
decided that Meade snd Sheridan should
both be communicated with by private
messenger from the ! President, with the
request to furlough certain regiments
of Pennsylvania troops under their
command. This was done, the soldiers
went home and voted and Pennsylvania
was carried for the Republican ticket by
a little more than four thousand on the
home vote. Had it not been for this,
such was the distrust and dissatisfaction
at the time that it might have lost both
New York and Pennsylvania at the
presidential election.
Gen. H. Hi Bingham; who was on the
staff bf Maior-General Hancock, told of
conversations had by Hancock with his
staff during the pendency of the cam
paign of 1864. Gen. Bingham said
that JJemoerat though uenerai HancocX
was, in an nis connuenuat taias wun
his staff, -while at no time under i akin g
to dictate to themj he invariably ex
pressed the belief that it was necessary
to the successful prosecution of the war
that Mr. Lincoln should be re-elected.
Gov. Curtin, who. a the war : Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, is .perhaps as fa
miliar with everything connected with
the battle of Gettysburg-as anv one.
gave a most absorbing account of inci
dents connected therewith, and was most
emphatic in the expression thai had
Hancock been shot one hour earlier than
he was, the Confederates would have
won the battle, and history might have
been dihvrent. i
Mr. Hetherington, of PHJlaidclplno,
who sat by Gen. Hancock at the Clover
club dinner in that city in January,
which was the last public occasion on
which Gen'. Hancock was present, said
the General in the brief intervals he
tween song and story spoke some, little
of h(mself. He said that immediately
after the presidential election of 1881 he
had given up all political ambitions and
aspirations forever , He had expected
to be elected and Was of course : disap
pointed, out it was not very long be
fore be was thoroughly convinced that
it was best for him. Politics did not
suit himr and the jWhite House j would
have been nothing! but a bed of thorns
for him. The life to which he had been
bred was his pride and was congenial,
snd he would die in u. At this time
he did not dream how near his end was-.

The steamer Concord of the Farmers
and Merchants line, for Baltimore, with
472 bates of cotton, was consumed by
fire today. She started from the wharf
at 8 o'clock, in a heavy northwest wind,
and grounded about a mile below town.
She took fire about noon and wai totally
consumed. The value of the cargo was
about $20,000; fully insured. The
steamer was insured for $4,0(0; value
6,000. Fortunately the sjteara tag
Edith went to the rescue of the crew and
no lives were lost. But for jthis they
would have been drowned or burned to

A Ctiaar of lifetime.
Many people are not aware of the
conveniences of the installment plan of
purchases. Jf L. Stone, the ownrr of
the largest music house in Noith Coro-
lin, is now offering special bargains in -pianos,
organs, sewing machines, furni
tunc and clocks. All these are 0 the best
manufacture. Persons of limited means -or
Foiall income can secure any of these
at J. L Stone's on monthly payments.
The prices have been reduced, and this r
is the chance of a lifetime to make a i
bargain. It is far more convenient to ir
make fmall monthly piyments than to !
pay cash down for a piano or an organ '!
or a; set of furniture. Just now the '
large stock of furniture has been marked
down to lower figures than ever before. '!
